    H. Almeida., Bendur/Andheri. Sat, Aug 07 2021 Mangaluru a cosmopolitan city, lies midway, in close proximity, betweenand North Kerala district.. both these regions are acknowledged as a torchbearers, for Cheddi antinationals activities... DK district is no more an oasis of peace n tranquility.. Kudla is considered as a safe haven for these criminals, due to its strategic location which is crisscrossing with an international airport, sea port, railway n national highway... The Rapist cheddi modules, in its vicinity has raised alarm bells ringing. Therefore an NIA base is vital to checkmate and eliminate cheddi Idelogy !!!!

    Cheddi ideology is not new to us, we are well acquainted and familiar with it. It is an open ideology, nothing secret about it. There are other dreaded hidden, imported ideologies which are bent on destroying the nation. These need to be nipped in the bud before it is too late.

    @Rolf. Absolutely correct. Chaddi ideology has taken Karnataka, and the whole country 1000 years backwards since 2014. This trend should be snubbed from its roots right away. India has become laughing stock of the world due to the spreading of Chaddi ideology through social media etc. Truth is suppressed by these Chaddi gangs all over the country.

    Your cult ideology has taken the whole world to around 1300 years back, to the cruel barbaric days of your leader, come out of that ideology and promote peace and love around the world. The day you all change yourselves there will be peace in the world.
